I’d have ponied up the cash anyway if my guy actually wore neckties to work, but he doesn’t. He had to go and dig through his closet to come up with a dress shirt to wear to model the necktie in this photo, and when he finally found a dress shirt it didn’t even fit well anymore, it had been so long since he’d worn it. And so when Christmas came along this year, and I looked at my little D.I.Y. Christmas list and saw the names of my brother-in-law and my seventeen-year-old boy cousin, I didn’t sigh in frustration and spend weeks wracking my brain for ideas the way that I usually do. Instead I thought, “Ooooooh, silk screened neckties!” Of course, I don’t actually own any of the tools or any of the knowledge for screen printing a necktie, and while I’d love to learn (and accumulate more craft stuff), six days before Christmas didn’t seem like quite the time for the acquisition of new skills. That’s why I cheated when I made this necktie. And I’m going to show you how to cheat and fake silk screen a necktie, too. Next » Selecting The Tie
